League of Legends Riot blocks VPN
  • Players using VPN services to access Wild Rift won't be able to play the game anymore.
  • The game developers reasoned server stability issues for the ban claiming excessive VPN traffic caused spikes in lagging.
  • Riot Games may change this policy in the future.

Riot Games has announced a new access policy for its recently released League of Legends: Wild Rift Beta. In order to overcome in-game problems and provide a smoother experience for players, Riot decided to restrict the VPN access for the players outside the beta region.

Released on October 27, 2020, Wild Rift is currently available as an open beta version in Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand.
